African American Attitudes Toward Supporting Older Adults
African Americans express stronger norms of familism compared to other racial and ethnic groups in the United States. Frequently overlooked is whether attitudes toward family and/or government support for older adults varies by lifecourse stage (young adult, middle age, and older adults) among African Americans as well as by type of support. Using data from the 2001-2003 National Survey of American Life Adult Reinterview (n=1696, aged 18-90), we …
Expectations for Families to Care for Older Adults in the United States
As the population ages and families become increasingly diverse, more work is needed to understand expectations for families to care for older adults. In this review, we discuss the theoretical frameworks and conceptualizations used to study care expectations, summarize overarching findings about theories of care expectations and corresponding measurement, and propose future directions for research. We examined studies published between January 2…
The Sociological Stakes of Attitudes Toward the Families and Care of Older Adults With Dementia
This Forum essay calls for greater sociological attention to the theoretical and empirical study of attitudes about the families and care of older adults living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD; dementia). Investigating these attitudes can help expand our understanding not only of the social experience of older adults with dementia but also of family members and caregivers, as dementia is often highly stigmatized, memory loss …
Dynamics of Family Exchanges
The relationship between a parent and child is one of the most enduring relationships over the life course. Older parents may rely on their adult children for support as they age. We leverage data from the Health and Retirement Study (1998–2018) to assess the dynamics of family exchanges by examining multiple types of parent exchanges and later child behavior in parent-child dyads at the onset of a parent’s health limitations. Using logistic regr…
Caregivers serving as confidants
Caregivers of older adults with dementia tend to also be a confidant, but serving these multiple roles is only associated with positive psychological well-being for those caring for older adults without dementia. We call for more research to better understand the unique stressors that caregivers experience when serving as confidants for older adults with dementia
Evidence of lead poisoning and the co-occurrence of metabolic disease in Archaic/Early Classical (6th–5th century BCE) Laurion, Greece
Lead is one of the most toxic heavy metals and environmental pollutants on earth capable of adversely affecting every organ in the human body, with harmful short- and long-term effects. In the Laurion region of southeastern Attica, Greece, the extraction of silver-rich lead ores has been practiced since prehistoric times. This area was heavily mined during the late Archaic and Classical periods significantly contributing to Athens wealth and sove…
Life Course Family Dynamics and Transfers From Children to Biological Parents
ObjectiveTime in childhood spent living apart from a biological parent or with a repartnered parent is theorized to disrupt norms of intergenerational solidarity and reduce transfers from adult children to parents. Parents' partnership status when children are grown is also expected to influence children's transfers. We estimate the probability of a past-year child-to-parent transfer as a function of childhood family structure and parents' curren…
A Care Paradox
We investigate how the type of caregiving arrangement is associated with older Americans’ outcomes. We use the Health and Retirement Study (2004–2018) and discrete-time event history analysis to assess the odds of institutionalization or death over a 14-year period among older adults with limitations in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs; e.g., bathing). We consider caregiving arrangements as conventional (i.e., spouse or adult child), unconvention…
Changes in Americans’ Views on Who Should Provide and Pay for Assistance to Older Adults with Activity Limitations, 2012 to 2022
An aging U.S. population means more older adults in need of care over time. Although government programs that supply financial support for older adults receive high levels of backing, social norms dictate that when it comes to care, families should be held responsible. Although families do provide most of the care older adults receive, it can often be in balance with more formal provisions such as paid care. However, there is a divide between wha…
Confidants and Caregivers
Network multiplexity is prevalent and positively associated with the subjective well-being of older adults who have at least 1 confidant and 1 caregiver, above and beyond having any confidants or caregivers separately. The baseline patterns established in this study lay the groundwork for future research to further explore support dynamics in older adults' networks
Changes in Family Structure and Increasing Care Gaps in the United States, 2015–2050
Research on caregiving in the United States has not clearly identified the scope of the gap between care needed and care received and the changes implied by ongoing and anticipated shifts in family structure. This article examines the magnitude of contemporary gaps in care among older adults in the United States and how they are likely to evolve through 2050. We use data from the Health and Retirement Study (1998–2014) to estimate care gaps, oper…
Caregiving and Self-Esteem in Mid and Later Life
Caregiving may prove either beneficial or harmful for caregiver well-being, depending on the circumstances surrounding care provision. Using data from the two most recent waves of the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS, 2004–2014; N = 1,100), we examine whether providing care for an adult at both time points (i.e., 8–10 years apart) is associated with changes to self-esteem over the ten-year period, in comparison w…
Work as overload or enhancement for family caregivers of older adults
Objective: This study examines work and care patterns and their association with experienced well-being over the course of the day and tests a moderating effect of gender. Background: Many family and unpaid caregivers to older adults face dual responsibilities of work and caregiving. Yet little is known about how working caregivers sequence responsibilities through the day and their implications for well-being. Method: Sequence and cluster analys…
Cohabiting adult children's transfers to parents in the United States
Objective: This brief report presents national estimates of transfers of time and money from cohabiting adult children (ages 18 to 65) to their parents (own and in-laws) to test whether cohabiting adults give differently from their counterparts. Background: Previous U.S. studies use data collected in the late 1980s and mid-1990s, when cohabitation was an emerging family form; they find mixed results. Rising rates of cohabitation and an aging popu…
Understanding Christianity Through Presentation and Practice
Having grown up in the Midwest, I have seen the localized practice of Christianity as a way of life for many members of small communities. Christian protocols cultivate a mindset of fellowship outside the sanctuary. Praying for members of the community that do and do not regularly attend services instilled in me a curiosity about community dynamics through religious practices. This research-based study describes the congregation of a small countr…
Family Ties and Older Adult Well-Being
Our results highlight that family ties are important for older adults well-being, not just through their existence but also their quality and strength
A Caregiving Journey Without a Map
This review is a discussion of Deborah J. Cohan’s book, Welcome to Wherever We Are. The stories presented within may be unforunately familiar to some readers, making this book tough to wade through—not because of the writing, but because of the topic and the precision with which Cohan crafts the lived experiences of abuse throughout her life. She is upfront about this reality, noting that this book is about what it means to caregive for an abuser…
Feeling the Squeeze
People often provide caregiving to other family members across the life course. “Sandwiched” caregiving, or caring for a child and aging parent at the same time, is a common form of combining care duties. However, adults share more years of life with many different family members due to population level demographic shifts in life expectancy and family formation. This shift means that multigenerational care, or providing for two or more different …
Co‐residence beliefs 1973–2018
Objective: This brief study examines support for co-residence (i.e. aging parents living with their adult children), and how age predicts support for this belief considering the rapidly aging U.S. population. Background: Co-residence, a form of intergenerational transfer between family members, can help facilitate care for aging parents as well as help older adults age in the community. Support for this type of co-residence was on the rise in the…
The Social Cost of Providing Care to Older Adults With and Without Dementia
More time spent among caregivers of persons with versus without dementia may be an important factor undermining social participation, but hours only partially explain the gap. Future interventions should consider how to facilitate social participation among caregivers

Care Received and Unmet Care Needs Among Older Parents in Biological and Step Families
Results illustrate that concerns about the implications of the rising prevalence of step families for care parents receive from their children may be warranted. However, there is a lack of evidence of greater unmet need for care for older parents in step families, as risks of unmet needs are high for older parents regardless of family type
Family embeddedness and older adult mortality in the United States
Do different operationalizations of family structure offer different understandings of the links between family structure and older adult mortality? Using the American Health and Retirement Study (N = 29,665), we examine mortality risks by three measures of family structure: whether respondents have different family statuses (e.g. married vs. unmarried), volume of family members available (e.g. having one vs. two living immediate family members),…
Linked Lives and Childhood Experience of Family Death on Educational Attainment
Sociological theory and research suggest that experiencing family members' deaths during childhood and adolescence is an important event subject to significant disparities. Previous research links immediate family members' deaths to poor life outcomes, but it considers a limited set of family members and has not tested the association of family member death with educational attainment. In this study the authors estimate the rates and educational …
The Demography of Multigenerational Caregiving
Multigenerational caregiving is important because it affects social and economic outcomes. Existing studies usually exclude theoretically and empirically important aspects-emotional care and horizontal care-that may systematically underestimate gender differences. In this study, we comprehensively describe caregiving by gender and age and examine how sensitive estimates are to the inclusion of directions and types of care. Using the Generations a…
The Intergenerational Transmission of Union Instability in Early Adulthood
Research on the intergenerational transmission of divorce should be expanded to incorporate disrupted nonmarital cohabitations. This study (a) examined the transmission of union instability from parents to offspring using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, (b) replaced binary variables (divorced vs. nondivorced) typically used in this literature with count variables (number of disrupted unions), (c) relied on…

Gender and the MBA
This study asks how men's and women's careers diverge following MBA graduation from an elite university, using qualitative interview data from 74 respondents. We discover men and women follow three career pathways post-graduation: lockstep (stable employment), transitory (3 or more employers), and exit (left workforce). While similar proportions of men and women followed the lockstep pathways and launched accelerated careers, sizable gender diffe…

Mothers' Time and Relationship With Their Adolescent Children
We investigate whether the anticipated risks of increasing maternal work hours for mother-adolescent relationships differ across family structures: Do intensive mothering norms exacerbate these risks particularly for mothers in two-parent biological families or does their partners' greater involvement significantly mitigate these risks? We predict mothers' accessible time, engaged time, and the quality of their relationship with their adolescent …

Competence and the Classical Cascade
Individualism and Semantic Development
This paper takes issue with Tyler Burge's claim that intentional states are nonindividualistically individuated in cognitive psychology. A discussion of current models of children's acquisition of semantic knowledge is used to motivate a thought-experiment which shows that psychologists working in this area are not committed to describing the concepts children attach to words in terms of the concepts standardly attached to those words in the chil…
